Oh i forgot to ask one thing, hows your emotional well being.. I talked to a lady yesterday who was feeling down post op...

How are you new bandster??> How's the healing coming?? Are you managing your pain well?? Do tell...

Won't you know it... I guess this is a sign to change my diet too. My deep freezer went. Defrosted all my frozen and meats.. Nightmare... I had just brought some stuff from Costco last week too and was going again.. Now I have to buy a deep freezer...sheesh..

I was fussing with my daughter yesterday about her weight. This is my runaway who has been home nearly a month now. She has ballooned to 137lbs from 112lbs and has her belly hanging over and out of her shirt. I told her when i was her age, i didnt have a belly or walk about with shorter than ususal shirts. She said well mom we need to work out.. i agreed with her.. but i told her she must lift the pants and pull down the shirts.. what's up with the kids wearing these kind of clothes. Mind you, i didnt buy it for her and told her its not in standards. I want to be 137 again!!!! waaaaaaaaa

Sounds like that shoulder pain is referred pain. Probably gas. Good to hear you doing so well.. What's the muscle milk thing, sounds like a athlete's sports drink.. I want muscles.. not fat!!!

Me too. I have a problem with chewing and basically swallow most of my food. I guess i shoudl start working on it.

Awwww, So glad to hear from you. Glad your paon is minimal. You are a trooper. Is sipping okay? I did hear that may bring on some gas pains. I hope to see you soon. I will be in the are on thew 22nd and now plan on going to the 5th meeting...

I think we wont see them back on for a while until they are up and running again. I got my paper work in and the doc faxed in my referral form today. I have my appointment with Dr. Fowler on 9/7. I asked Jennifer if i could attend the support group on the night of the 5th and she said yes. If my baby sitting goes well, i will see some of you ladies there.

Good luck on your suguries ladies!!! Aloha

Oh but i havent been to Kauai.... Would love to visit there.. any weather concerns??

Sure just say when.. how are you.. two days out, how you feeling?? You can give me a call tommorrow if you get a chance. I probably will be visiting mt kid sometime next week, if you are feeling good and mobile maybe we can meet up ladies or week after. I was in the ER with my daughter and i have to do a follow up with her 4 pm tomorrow. My GI doc told me he's in full support of me doing this..so im psyched now.. i finally finished that long patient survey, so hubby is going to help me fax it tonight. mes

Come join us in Hawaii pre and post bansters.

Hey how are ya and the dieting ??

Aloha, Well I attempted to send you this long email from my telephone. I was down in Waikiki today, checking on my condos, doing tourist stuff, and I walked past a huge mirror at the Hyatt and thought.. "oh, I so have to lose weight". My husband and kids were walking with me. I was thinking he's a bag of bones and he's walking with a buluga whale.. I saw this tall then bride taking pics and i thought, gosh i wish.. main thing, i want to be here for my kids.. my youngest is 8 months old. Sure let's chat and support each other.. Im out in Kahuku but im always in Kaneoehe too..

How are you, havent talked to you in a few days... Hows the diet coming...I went to my gasterenterologist the other day. He is in full support of the band and Dr. Fowler. He did a endoscopy on me and found a hiatial hernia too, but Fowler said he could just repair it while doing the band...

Aloha, So glad you found us. Pull up a chair and lets all talk story. I would love to meet you too so maybe we can support each other in our journies. Im on the windward side too. Im meeting some Kauhi folks coming in on the 24th. The husband was banded and she will get hers this month. I just had my seminar on Wednesday and met Dr Fowler. He didnt sell me on it with the seminar, im sold from researching it, talking to my docs, and being here. I do like his spirit, sincerity, and commitment to helping patients have better lives...

Did Dr. Fowler or the nutritionist give you a diet plan and are there many choices... i think where people fail is where there are limited choices and they get bored.. good you are going to the gym, shoots, i dont have time...

Ok, so you are on that diet.. How are you doing with that.. what are you eating??
